It is said by those who have seen the design

for the Memorial to Queen Alexandra that it is a work of extra- ordinary delicacy and beauty. It is by Mr. Alfred - Gilbert, the designer of the famous fountain surmounted by Eros which stood, till it was temporarily removed, in Piccadilly Circus. The Eros and the Queen Alexandra Memorial will be the only public monuments in London by Mr. Gilbert. The London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian says that the place chosen for the Queen Alexandra Memorial is Friary Court in St. James's Palace and that the group of figures in bronze will symbolize Faith, Hope and Charity.
